![]() I always thought it was strange that they would move them from the published locations. I place the Rhianna ( Mission to Alcazzar) and Starmist ( Sundown on Starmist) systems in the locations specified in the modules, not where the Zeb’s Guide map places them. Most importantly is the location of the new systems described in the published modules. These changes mainly affect the area below the Frontier and to the right of Liberty system (from the Beyond the Frontier modules). I have now updated my map to better match the map in Zebulon’s Guide as well as included some additional fan created maps of the areas of space the Saurians and S’sessu come from. I had a different route to it but the idea was there from a perusal of Zeb’s Guide in a bookstore. And I had exactly the same use for the neutron star system at the location of Lynchpin as the published timeline had. I would have had zero reason to put a cluster like that (I had four stars and the Zeb’s Guide map had 3) anywhere, let alone there, if I had not seen the published map at some point. The two most noticeable are the star cluster to the upper left of the Frontier and the neutron star just below it. There are too many similarities between the area just around the Frontier in my map and the Zeb’s map to chalk up to mere coincidence. I had, however, looked at a Zeb’s Guide and its beautiful map at some point before I drew mine. My copy was actually a gift from some fellow role-players. I didn’t get my first copy of that until 1992, many years after Star Frontiers went out of print. The map was drawn back before I acquired a personal copy of Zebulon’s Guide to Frontier Space, Vol 1. Right now it’s rolled up inside out to try to get some of the decades of bend rolled out the other direction. I’ve kept it in a cardboard poster tube all these years when I haven’t actually been using it. The original map was hand drawn in the late 80’s on six 8.5″x11″ pieces of quad-ruled graph paper and then taped together. Along with a bit of history and explanation. Today, I’m posting the (near) final version of that map. decades) ago for use as my main campaign map of the Frontier region. Happy Halloween! In my “ State of the Frontier” post last week, I mentioned that I was working on updating an old map that I had created many years (i.e.
